John 4:28

Witness and mission

26 Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

27 Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
